I'm actually surprised yours is "only" £1k ! It's been more in the past, hasn't it ?

I still have one similar to the second one. I’ll have to dig it out. I bought it around 1995/6 and IIRC it was £300. A lot of money ! CD players were out of my budget.

My turn, it’s renewal time here at Chateau Wren. I can’t compare directly to last year as there’s been several changes but I do like to be a touch smug about living in such a dull area 😎 and I think I might be able to bring it down very slightly further by shuffling the NCB.

We went to some dive bar on the way home, which was pretty empty tbf, but by the time we got to ordering having perused the pumps the first thing the b...
